Chapter 218: The Narrow Road is 4
Waiting back to the inn where he stayed, Wei Ce told Lin Ruo the whole thing, Lin Ruo let out the same sigh as Li Yan, and then asked Zidian to take his jade plate and Wei Ce to go to the Yamen of Pingyu County to report the case, and by the way, let Zhuxuan collect the things.
Needless to say, Lin Ruo is identity as Princess Rong, just the title of the lord of Minhui, it was sealed by the emperor himself!
What does it mean to be pro-sealed? That's a celebrity in front of the emperor!
What does it mean to be a red person? That is, you can enter the palace to see the emperor from time to time!
A petty official like Pingyu County Order, if he doesn't climb up, he may not have the opportunity to see the holy face in this life.
But now it's different, there's Lord Minhui!
As long as she leaves a good impression in front of Lord Minhui, when she sees the emperor, she mentions it by the way, and the emperor will have an impression!
Isn't the trip of the county lord of Minhui just to return to Beijing before the New Year Pass and attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace? Oh yes, and the Queen Mother's birthday.
How can you miss such a good opportunity!
Prepare a few good gifts, one filial piety to the lord of Minhui, one filial piety to the prince Rong, take other people's hands short, at that time, the lord of Minhui will definitely agree to present the gifts he prepared for filial piety to the emperor and the queen mother to the emperor!
Pingyu County Ling Mei thought beautifully, imagining that it would not be long before he could leave this desolate, remote, and unstable small county town, and then move on to the top.
It's a pity that from the first step, he was wrong.
Lin Ruo not only didn't have the gifts he had prepared, but calmly asked him why he didn't hurry back to the mansion to order troops, get ready, and set off to suppress the bandits at any time.
On a cold day, he was frightened by a basin of "cold water" poured into the heart of Pingyu County, and in the face of the interrogation of such a woman who had never participated in court politics, he was a little frightened.
"Pingyu is close to Beiqi, the Hu people are rampant, bandits are rampant, you, as a parent official, after receiving the report, you didn't think about how to solve these hidden dangers for the people, but came to me to meet the flattery?"
"I don't have a shortage of people to serve here, and I don't need to worry about it."
"As for these, hmph, the prince and I don't care about these things outside the body, if you want to ask me to pass them on to the emperor and the emperor's grandmother, it's just a convenient thing. It's just that Feng County Order, how do you think that with the emperor's wisdom and fame, Pingyu County, which is not outstanding in political achievements and the people are not rich, has made such a generous offering? ”
Feng Xianling's face was as frightened as earth, and he kept repeating "Xia Guan" and "Xia Guan" in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.
This has long been a well-known unspoken rule of officialdom.
But as long as there are no mistakes, not too out of line, there will be no big problems.
On the contrary, he wants to be a bird!
Feng Xianling regretted that his intestines were blue, but he couldn't stop sweating and trembling on a cold day. The few gift slips placed on Lin Ruo's case are not kept, nor are they taken away.
Just like himself, he is not leaving, nor is he staying.
"Feng County Order, use less crooked brains to follow relationships, and think more about how to let the people live a good life!"
Lin Ruo sighed heavily, and handed the gift slip on the table to Feng Xianling's hand: "Compared to these, the emperor is more willing to see you lead people to exterminate the Pingyu Mountain bandits!" ”
With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
After a long while, Feng Xianling stood up tremblingly, cold all over.
He also wants to suppress the bandits, but he doesn't know where the mountain bandits' lair is, and he can't beat those fierce mountain bandits, what can he do!
Lin Ruo had already left, and there was only a gentle young man left in the hall, looking at his appearance, Feng Xianling guessed that he was the official of the Rongwang Mansion, and he didn't dare to slack off at the other party's shallow smile, and arched his hand.
"What's the difficulty of Feng County's order?"
Feng Xianling sighed heavily: "I don't know what to call Mr. ”
"My surname is Li, and I was raised by everyone and called 'Mr.'."
Li Yan didn't reveal what he had to do with King Rong's Mansion, and in the eyes of Feng Xianling, it seemed more real.
"It turned out to be Mr. Li, rude and rude."
"Don't dare, don't dare. I don't know what difficulties Feng Xianling has, you might as well say a thing or two, maybe Li can help a little. ”
Feng Xianling looked Li Yan up and down, this gentle scholar with a shallow smile had an unpredictable sense of profundity. Since Prince Rong asked this person to follow Princess Rong and escort her all the way back to Beijing, this person must be capable. Since the other party took the initiative to say that he could help, Feng Xianling told the story of the dilemma.
At the end, he sighed: "Mr. Li, to tell you something from my heart, I have also read the books of sages for more than ten years, and I also want to do things for the people, but I have more than enough heart but not enough strength!" ”
Li Yan nodded with a smile and echoed: "Feng County's concerns are indeed true. However, this time, there is no need to worry. ”
"Oh? Please also ask Mr. Li for advice! ”
Feng Xianling's eyes lit up when he heard that there was a play, and he respectfully asked Li Yan for advice.
"Don't dare, don't dare. In fact, Feng County ordered to thank the princess. ”
"Oh?"
"When the princess returned to Beijing this time, the princess was worried about the princess's safety and arranged a lot of guards to protect her."
Feng Xianling interjected without a trace: "The prince and the princess have a deep relationship. ”
Li Yan smiled faintly: "Of course. Feng County Order, you also know that the prince has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he has never been defeated, and the people who follow him are naturally masters. ”
Feng Xianling listened in a daze, as if he understood a little, but he didn't grasp the key information, and looked at Li Yan as if asking for help, hoping that he would understand it more clearly.
Li Yan told Feng County Ling about more than half of the mountain bandits' injuries and the fact that someone followed the mountain bandits to find out the location of their lair, Feng County Ling was overjoyed, thanked Li Yan, and expressed his admiration for Princess Rong in the air, and then made a bold statement that he would definitely eliminate the mountain bandits and live up to the trust of the imperial court, so he left satisfied.
Watching Feng Xian Ling lead people out of the post house, Li Yancai shook his head regretfully: "Ten years of cold windows, the title of the gold list, the selection of the best in the imperial examination, and the selection of such people are really distressing!" ”
Thankfully, he didn't throw himself in.
It's thanks to Lin Ruo's awakening.
This is a common problem for almost everyone. Now that Li Yan's thoughts have already jumped out of it, and he can see it more and more clearly, the more grateful he is to Lin Ruo for being such a confidant.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Yan has always regarded her as a little sister and a relative after learning that Lin Ruo is not the real Gu Manxue - even if she is not the real Gu Manxue, everything she has done for the Lin family is beyond reproach.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of God letting her survive for Gu Manxue.
Providence is unpredictable, and it cannot be violated, in this case, you might as well deal with it calmly and calmly.
It's just that thinking of the matter of the Tang Sect and the Xishu royal family against the Lin family, Li Yan couldn't help frowning, and walked to find Lin Ruo, wanting to find out what Lin Ruo planned to do before Lin Ruo met Song Huan Chu.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow.
